It was not easy to learn different kinds of musical instruments well at the same time . I still remembered when I took my piano lessons , my mother said worriedly to my father , “Why hasn’t he made any progress with so much practice ” I tried to play the piano better . However , my parents never got a strong feeling of satisfaction with my piano performance .
From then on , I didn’t pay any musical instrument until my old friend Larry invited me to play the violin with him when I was 60. It made me enjoy the joy of playing music again . One day , Larry asked me to take part in a violin performance with him . At first , thinking of my past , I wanted to refuse . I expected to hear his words that I would become more skilled with practice on stage (舞台）. But he said , “OK, only play if you want to .”I was shocked by the unexpected answer.
In fact , nobody made me do it , so I had to make a choice by myself . I was willing to catch the chance this time. After a long and careful preparation , I played the violin with Larry . Though I didn’t lose all my nervousness , it was enough for me to overcome my fear . Finally , I offered a full performance in front of the audience (观众）. .
However , happy times always didn’t last long . My friend Larry passed away . It was a hard hit , but his influence stayed . It helped me not only in music , but on all sides of my life . Whenever I paid attention to what I wanted to do , joy usually took the place of fear .
